In my opinion one of the most underestimated cd's ever. From the beginning till the end fantastic AOR music! Some songs are even better than the originals from Unruly Child!!!
I love this CD. It has a similar feel in track selection and sound to Michael Bolton's 85' #1 all time AOR album Everybody's crazy. Tons of Harmonies and Bobby's Voice sounds very Rich and Full. The songs roll one right into the other, the producer did a splendid job of track order. For me the real difference between this and most other cd's is purely in the song selection. "Annalies", "Shot Down Love", "Is it Over", you name it, Great song after Great song. This is Power ballad and AOR rock n roll at its finest. Surprisingly if you asked me to pick a weak song on here, i would only offer up "You've got a friend", the cover. All i can say is buy this cd. Give it 5 listens and you'll be writing a recommendation just like this one i'm doing now.
